The system of official transfer is undoubtedly a thing that absolutely strengthens centralization of power.
The transfer of officials effectively prevented local power from taking root.
And this system has irreplaceable creativity for those remote foreign areas.
Today's Liaodong is similar to the political model of the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan and Guizhou.
The imperial court only sent a small number of soldiers and horses to station on the vast Liaodong Plain north of Liaohaiwei, the capital of Liaodong, and Dingzhou Youwei.
And more troops and energy were concentrated in the Liaodong Town area of Liaodong Dusi.
As for the large area of land in Liaodong, it exists more in the form of tribute or vassalage.
The Jurchen and other tribes in Liaodong bowed to the Ming Dynasty and respected the Ming Dynasty as the supreme kingdom of heaven. The Ming Dynasty acquired a large area of vast land and nominal suzerainty without investing actual money, food and manpower.
When the various tribes in Liaodong need it, open the mutual market and trade with the tribes in Liaodong for the items they need.
Zhu Gaochi, who was squatting on the ground, silently raised his head and whispered: "I just received a military report this morning. My father is leading the Eastern Route Army towards the Onan River. They want to block the east side and prevent the Tatars from entering."
The Tatars fled to Liaodong."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi lightly, then continued to lower his head and hugged the cement pillar in front of him with both hands.
Zhu Yunxi blinked and pondered for a while before speaking: "If the Tatar Royal Court really wants to go to Liaodong, then we have to open up one side of the Onan River and let the Tatars go to Liaodong."
Zhu Shangbing snorted.
After attracting the attention of several people, a smile appeared on his face.
"I know what you think!"
Zhu Yunxi had a smile on his face and nodded: "Then tell me what we think."
Abu also smiled at me.
It has been some time since he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and he also knows a little about the clan members around the emperor's grandson.
He even believed that in the plan of Zhu Yunxi, the great grandson of the Ming Emperor, the future Ming Dynasty clan would regard the Crown Prince of Yan as a talent for managing the country and the Crown Prince of Qin as a military leader.
It is said that Prince Qin can understand these strategies of governing the country.
Abu, I still have some doubts about this.
Zhu Shangbing grunted twice, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Abu: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Abu didn't know why he was being targeted, and immediately nodded his head: "I don't dare, the prince is smart and brave, but everyone knows this."
Hearing what King Shun'an said, Zhu Shangbing's expression softened slightly.
He also began to explain at this time: "You want to drive away wolves and devour tigers, right?"
Zhu Shangbing blinked his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a look of praise.
Zhu Yunxi hummed and said, "Continue talking."
"The Tartar royal court who is missing now is the group of prairie wolves, and the Jurchen and other tribes in Liaodong are the tigers in the mountains."
"In recent years, the imperial court has not done much strategic planning in Liaodong, and the tribes such as the Jurchens in Liaodong have also been very respectful. If at this time, the imperial court suddenly starts to aggressively manage Liaodong, it will always be morally unjustifiable."
"Our family still needs to save some face. Since we can't take action directly, we can only use the sword of the Tartar Court to completely disrupt the entire Liaodong."
"When the time comes, it will be justifiable for us to send troops to Liaodong."
"After the incident, we have wiped out the Tatar court, and the troops sent out can be stationed directly. At that time, we can use the excuse to move the people south of Shanhaiguan to Liaodong. It only takes a while, and Liaodong will be completely transformed.
My new land of Ming Dynasty.”
In the core area of Daqing City, above the high-rise buildings that have not yet been built.
Zhu Shangbing opened his arms and waved them from time to time. His face was full of energy, as if he was pointing out the country in the palm of his hand.
After he said the possibility that he thought of, he calmed down and looked at Zhu Yunxi intently.
"am I right."
Unable to wait for Brother Xi's approval and praise, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but remind him again.
Zhu Yunxi nodded again and again: "Then I'll leave it to you to send the message to Fourth Uncle's Eastern Route Army."
"ah?"
…
Still on the high-rise building in Daqing City that has not yet been built.
Zhu Shangbing has disappeared.
To the north of the city, there is a cavalry team, rushing towards Daqing Mountain at great speed.
Zhu Gaochi hugged the cement pillar and finally stood up.
He just glanced at the team to the north, then quickly lowered his head and stared at his toes.
"Aren't you afraid that Brother Bing will make a mistake?"
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and whispered.
Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head and said: "He can't miss anything. When he leaves Daqingshan in the north, he will only chase him all the way to the Onan River. Only when he enters the Eastern Route Army camp of his fourth uncle, will he feel relieved."
Abu stood aside and said softly: "The Prince of Qin is very brave. He only needs a few trainings in the military to become a rare general."
Regarding Ab Zhi'an's sudden praise, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi just glanced at each other silently.
After a long time, Zhu Yunxi continued.
"The Ming Dynasty has too many generals."
"What Ming Dynasty lacks is handsome talents with sufficient strategic vision."
Since King Zhongshan passed away and the original batch of founding heroes gradually aged and retired from the front line, there have been fewer and fewer people in the Ming army who can be considered handsome.
King Yan was considered a handsome man, but the Ming Dynasty was too big and one handsome man was not enough.
As for General Zhengdong, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, who is said to be returning to Yingtian City soon, he is at best a general with a somewhat evil nature. And General Zhengnan, founding Duke Chang Sheng, is more like an upright general.
There are still too few people who can truly take charge of one area and explore the frontiers and foreign lands.
Abu lowered his head silently and looked at Daqing City, which was under construction.
Based on recent events, he felt that he was very likely to become the first city lord of Daqing City after it was built.
Or, he will be arranged by the court to sit here all the time.
What about my Jiangnan dream?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course.
Abu has to admit that he likes the current atmosphere in Daqingcheng.
When the herdsmen were able to live in harmony with the Ming people who had migrated here, a new mode of survival was staged in Daqing City, which gave him a dreamlike feeling.
Such a scene has never happened in the past.
"I know that King Shun'an's biggest dream is to settle in Yingtian City. But besides that, is there anything else that King Shun'an wants to do?"
Suddenly, a voice came into Abu's ears.
This voice was very familiar to him.
So Abu turned around immediately, nodded and bowed: "Reporting to the great grandson, I only hope that the world can be peaceful forever."
Zhu Yunxi smiled, nodded and said: "I think the construction of King Shun'an's palace in Yingtian City has already started. When the war outside the pass is over, King Shun'an will go to Yingtian with the victorious soldiers."
Abu Ji'an's face immediately showed a joyful smile, and then he immediately restrained himself: "I obey the order, but the construction of Daqing City will take some time, and I don't dare to stay in Yingtian for a long time."
"Then stay in Daqingshan in summer and autumn, and in Yingtian in spring and winter."
Zhu Yunxi's casual words can be regarded as making arrangements for Abuzhi's future.
Then he walked to the railing on the other side, pushed open the movable railing, stepped out of the roof of the tall building, and landed on a long swinging hanging frame.
Abu glanced at me, and immediately supported Zhu Gaochi, who had already closed his eyes tightly, and could only let himself be led to the hanging frame.
Wait until all three people enter the hanging frame.
Zhu Yunxi then reached out and pulled a rope on the edge of the hanging frame twice.
Far away.
There was a clear ringing of bells below the tall building.
Then the entire hanging frame trembled slightly and began to slowly fall downwards.
…
The huge sail began to slowly descend as the ropes were untied.
Behind the sails that originally blocked the sky, a huge fleet was revealed.
On the river outside Yingtian City.
Yingtian Mansion's official ships have already blocked the upstream and downstream.
Today is the day when the Ming Dynasty’s General Zhengdong and General Zhengnan returned to Beijing at the same time.
These are two meritorious generals who are about to be promoted to the title of county prince, and the court has given them enough honor and status.
One by one, warships and fortune ships began to disperse and sail towards the trestle at the edge of Longwan Pier.
The two sea-devouring behemoths at the core of the fleet began to decrease in speed as the sails dropped.
In the end, we could only rely on the tow boat at Longwan Pier to move towards the largest trestle in the middle of the pier.
The Ming Dynasty dragon flag, Kaizi flag, Caozi flag, Changzi flag, Lizi flag, Eastern Expedition Army flag, Southern Expedition army flag and other colorful flags decorated the two treasure ships in colorful colors.
Flags are also flying on Longwan Pier.
Countless civil and military officials in Beijing were waiting at the dock early on the orders of the emperor.
The leader is the Ming Dynasty Zong Renfu Zong Ren Ling, the Ming Dynasty Qin King Zhu Xiang.
Beside him were Ren Hengtai, the first assistant to the cabinet, Xie Jin, the second assistant, the governor of the governor's office, cabinet minister Xu Yungong, and cabinet minister Zhai Shan.
Further away, there are the founding heroes in Beijing, as well as the six ministers, five temple ministers and other senior officials.
The armies of the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition have been abroad for several years, opening up thousands of miles of territory and creating countless meritorious deeds for the country. Now that they have returned to Beijing, it is a certainty that the commanders of the two armies will be promoted to the title of Duke.
This is a glorious moment for the country.
At Longwan Pier, many people felt the same way and felt that the glory was supreme.
There are also some people who are somewhat envious, mostly focusing on those who contributed to the founding of the country.
Xie Jin, the second assistant to the cabinet, was very unhappy today.
It wasn't because he wanted to go out of the city and meet the Founding Duke and Cao Guogong at this pier, which made him unhappy.
Instead, he wanted to build the railway from Luoyang to Hamiwei. This matter was opposed by the imperial court. What was more serious was that this railway, which he regarded as the project of the Ming Dynasty and leading to the prosperous age, also suffered from the emperor and the emperor.
The prince's doubts.
"Xie Ge, you should find another reason to lobby the courtiers and my old man."
The treasure ship on the river has not yet docked on the trestle.
Zhu Ming put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head and looked sideways at Jie Jin, who had a sad face, and whispered something.
Although his voice was very low, Ren Hengtai, the chief assistant on the other side, still heard him.
Ren Hengtai also looked sideways at Xie Jin, who was frowning.
He also disapproved of the imperial court starting construction of the railway from Luoyang to Hamiwei at this time.
The cost is too high and the benefits are too unclear.
Under the premise that the country has countless other more important and urgent things to do, even if there are countless reasons, the construction of this railway should not be started at this time.
Xie Jin, who frowned, nodded slightly and turned sideways: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhu Xi shook his head: "The war on the grasslands outside the pass has just begun, and we don't know when it will end.
I heard that Brother Xie is building a Daqing City under the Daqing Mountain in the Hedao area. This is another huge waste of money.
I also heard that there are some rumors in Jiubian that this time they may take the opportunity to take back the Liaodong area as well.
Xie Ge, please tell me, if such a large place were to be taken into the hands of the imperial court, how much money and food would be invested in its management?"
Jie Jin's brows furrowed even more.
The reasons for opposition between the DPRK and China are very sufficient and impeccable.
There are too many things that the country has to do at the moment. Just this time, the entire nation has been involved in conquering the grasslands. Almost the entire force north of the Yellow River has been invested in it.
The local governments north of the Yangtze River are also operating at full capacity to cooperate with the military operations in the north.
The energy of half the country is being drawn beyond the nine borders.
At present, the country simply does not have the energy, nor that much money and food, to do something that has no immediate benefits.
If you really do this, you might as well invest this money and food in Yingzhou. By then, the gold and silver output in Yingzhou will definitely reach a higher level.
Xie Jin had to nod his head and said: "I have to admit this, minister."
Zhu Ping agreed: "That's right. As a cabinet minister, you not only have to think about long-term things, but also the immediate situation.
But...if you really want to build this railway, it's not impossible..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jin immediately raised his head and stared at King Qin with wide eyes.
Ren Hengtai on the side could not help but frown, silently staring at His Highness King Qin who always seemed to be unreliable.
"My lord, I am all ears."
Xie Jin lowered his head.
Zhu Xiang looked back at Ren Hengtai, who was staring at him, and smiled slightly: "First assistant, don't panic, I, the second brother Zhu, have no plans to do anything bad this time and cause you trouble."
Ren Hengtai was noncommittal about this.
The King of Qin in front of him has caused countless troubles for himself.
He wiped out the local impeachment memorial over and over again for Zhu Ping.
It's just that the other party is a clan relative and the clan's order.
Ren Hengtai still maintained good courtesy as a servant.
Only then did Zhu Ping turn his head and look at Xie Jin, who had been waiting for the answer for a long time.
"Xie Ge, this was not how you handled this matter from the beginning. You have to create a demand for the court and the old man. Only with this demand and necessity can the court and the old man get through it better."
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, as this answer didn't seem to be what he wanted.
Zhu Xi sighed, then pointed to the two treasure ships in front of the dock.
"Think about it, why did Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong lead the troops on the expedition?"
